He trashed the USA’s security agencies and his allies. He’s filled his cabinet with people who idolise Putin. Every key US decision maker either swears fealty to Putin/trump or is sacked.

The sooner we accept that reality, pick ourselves up, and face a world despite a defeated USA, the better off we all are.

Yeah, of course, he's just thinking of the Ukrainian people. Can't these people realise that Putin doesn't keep to agreements? He'll agree a ceasefire but then use the time to rebuild his forces and try again.
Any concession to Russian nuclear blackmail will ultimately lead to further blackmail in the future. This guys is going on about tripwires, but where is our line in the sand?
A ceasefire is NOT the end of this war. It will Putin to rebuild his damaged army reinforce his arms and ammunition and start again within another 3 to 4 years. What then?
We in the West have been discussing support for Ukraine for almost 3 years. What is often forgotten in these discussions is the situation under international law. But this should be clear, especially to opponents of support: In an emergency session of the UN General Assembly on March 1, 2022, an internationally valid resolution was passed: Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is illegal under international law. Russia must end this war immediately and withdraw its troops. 141 countries voted for this resolution, 35 abstained. There were only 5 votes against (Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea and Syria). With a 2/3 majority, this resolution is binding. After that, all countries no longer have to remain neutral but are actually obliged under international law to support the attacked state. This applies both legally and militarily. So what is the point of all these discussions? If we do not adhere to international law, we can forget about our future. This right is intended to prevent wars and ensure peaceful coexistence of all people on this planet.

Audition - he'd fit right in, dumb as a rock
Some criticism of past decisions is certainly due, but this guy has no solutions whatsoever. Not once was the will of the Ukrainian people mentioned. A ceasefire (benefitting Russia) would be their choice surely. It cannot be imposed.
A ceasefire doesn’t make sense for Ukraine unless it is to allow Russia to withdraw unmolested from Ukraine’s territory.
❤ Ukraine ❤
Ukraine dont want this war but they know if they lose Russia will enslave them. Ukraine want to defend their country and are willing to die to remain free. This guy is speaking for Ukraine when he hasnt got a clue. Please get some one on who knows what they are talking about.

How could this man say he's against putin going to Ukraine, but at the same time, Ukraine should not defend themselves?
This guy's just spitting Russia propaganda
Never heard such a load of old bull
What about the guarantee made to Ukraine that if they returned their nuclear weapons to Russia, we would protect them.
How on earth can someone say such a statement that UK and the US wanted to weaken Putin. Very unreasonable statements from this man
Ceasefire is pointless
This bloke needs to go to the toilet more often, because it keeps coming out his mouth, he needs to go to Ukraine and find out the true thoughts of the people.
Sign an agreement to get the land back should not even be a mention , the land needs to automatically be given back or no ceasefire or agreement at all , not to mention that Putin be put away for war crimes and lost of lives
